The nexi bar gave more evidDoce oJ a nor>-irencJing market by dlppirtg [owei", and then reversing tho djreciion of the previous bar.

As staled earlier, it is essential to know and recognize when a market is in congestion. Wfien it is, I dont want to be in it. Such a market belongs to the floor traders, not to me. They love when a market goes sideways. They can sefeiy scalp to their hearts content. I cannot compete with them, because 1 can never rnatch the speed witfi wftich they can react lo tlie action on y\\c floor and place their orders. The rnarkois they hale - trending markets - are where I make my money. Theres a piece ol the market lor everyone, according to their trading style. When a lion kills a zebra, he eats the organs. Then tfie vultures come, and they tCDr at the flesh. When the hyenas come, they eat the bones. The ants and beetles get whats left. Theres something for each of them. So it is with the markets.

Further confirmation of a non-trending market came with the doji bar that maleriatized next. The market was now in congestion by every definition I could think of.

When a market goes into a congestion. I will not trade it until I can define and count a new trend.

I went ahead and did my thing. } started a count. If the market was going to go anywhere, sooner or later I would catch up with it.

Prices moved a hit higher, but ended up making a reversal bar. This is not unusual for a market in congestion. Since I could now count three segments up. I placed a buy order above the high of the bar. and waited to see if there would be a breakout.

rJext there was an inside bar at about the same price level as the previous congestion aiea, I was still waiting. Notice that the correction to the down bar did not constitute a Ross hook. ROSS HOOKS COME OMLY IM TRENDING MARKETS. This market, by my definition of a trenti, is still in congestion.
